You must be the change you wish to see in the world.- Mahatma Gandhi
So many of us have heard and been moved by Gandhi's quote. But even as we have quoted, cited, coached it and counseled with it, we don’t often hear the story behind it.
Among the hundreds of people were waiting to visit with Mahatma Gandhi were a mother and her young son. When it was their turn, the woman asked Gandhi to speak with her son about eating sugar.
Gandhi asked her to come back in two weeks and said he would talk to the boy then. She wondered why he didn’t just speak to her son when he was already there, but she complied with his request.
In two weeks they returned, and after waiting for a couple of hours, she was able to approach Gandhi once again.
Hearing her repeated request, Gandhi immediately spoke with the boy, who agreed to begin working to eliminate sweets. After thanking Gandhi for his wise and compassionate words, the mother asked him why he wanted them to return instead of offering his advice the first time.
Gandhi replied, “Upon your visit two weeks ago I too was eating sugar.” He explained that he could not speak of or teach her son to not eat sugar if he himself had not taken that journey.
Whatever changes you would like to effect in our society has to begin with you.
Let your every moment be an example of what you teach and counsel.
Let your every action be a reflection of your beliefs.
Let your every word be reflective of your own thoughts.
The best leaders the world has ever known are the reformers who were accountable and responsible for their own change.
The commitment for change has no days off, does not allow for excuses, does not allow for pardons.
It’s a true commitment—a commitment to lead with heart to add value to the world.
Changing our face can change nothing. But facing our change can change everything.

Belief in yourself is the beginning of self motivation and achieving your dreams. Without a solid belief in your own potential and abilities, you are doomed to failure and mediocrity.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
I believe that quote sums it all up. Many people are simply afraid to think of themselves as anything but average. The truth is – most people are average. The truth is also that most people don’t use their average ability. Most people live below their average ability.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
Potential is simply what you can do, but have not yet done.
Myles Munroe in his inspirational book “Understanding Your Potential” defines potential as:
“…All you can be but have not yet become…all you can do but have not yet done…how far you can reach but have not yet reached…what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
You must understand that every human being is born with unlimited potential. There is a vast pool of untapped ability in each one of us. The only question is – are you willing to seek it out and bring it to fruition?
If you believe, like I do, that there is a God and that he created you, then you won’t find it hard to believe that you were created with vast ability and potential. God, after all, made man “in his own image.” He made YOU in his own image. If God made you in his own image, then you must be very much like God in a lot of ways. Then to say that you are limited in your potential or that you don’t have much ability to excel would be to insult God’s intelligence and ability.
That is where my self-esteem and belief in my ability comes from. I was made by the greatest being in the Universe. That is where most “self-esteem” movements fail. Self-esteem has got to have a basis. It’s got to “hang” onto something. Self-esteem without this solid foundation is potentially dangerous and destructive. However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.
Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.

However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.
Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.
“The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself. In as much as you believe it, it is what you live by. It is your personal truth.”
Okay I wrote that one (feel free to quote me), but it basically sums up what I believe about the subject of believing in oneself. It doesn’t matter what your parents, teachers, peers, employer or any one else thinks of you. What matters is what you think of yourself. If you believe what others say about you, good or bad, you are lost. Have your own opinion of who you are. That way That way YOU are in control.
Don’t be defined by someone else. Define yourself. Believe in yourself. Hey if you don’t, who is going to?
God believes in you. Why shouldn’t you believe in yourself?
Self Motivation Fact # 4 – YOU CAN CHART YOUR OWN COURSE.
The good news is – there is another way. Chart out your own course. Break out of the mould. Listen to that small inner voice. It knows more about you than you can imagine.
You can be an original, not a copy. If you are dissatisfied with life could it be because deep down you have a feeling that there is more to it than what you are experiencing? Is it possible that that still small voice is trying to tell you to “get up and be the person you should be!”
Here is a great self motivation tip:
“You are all you can be…go on and be it”

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone. And as said in the previous tip, you always choose how to react to something. When you can incorporate such a thought habit more and more into your life then you can react in a way that is more useful to you and others.
You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you and the people in your world a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons you can learn from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in this present moment.
If you don’t forgive then you let the past and another person to control how you feel. By forgiving you release yourself from those bonds. And then you can focus totally on, for instance, the next point.
Everything that exists has a purpose. My computer has a purpose, my shoes have a purpose, my watch has a purpose, if I had a dog, he or she would have a purpose, and most importantly, you have a purpose.
You showed up on this planet for a reason. Maybe you showed up to sing, or to dance, or to teach, or to write, or to entertain, or to act, or to talk, or to cook, or to paint, or any other thing, but you showed up for a reason. There’s a purpose that you came here to fulfill. Don’t “sell out!”
In other words, don’t settle for a life of doing a mundane job that you’re not passionate about. You only live once, you must live your life to the fullest; you must die empty.
Don’t buy into the thinking that it’s too hard to become a singer or whatever else you’re passionate about. It’s exactly that thinking that will make it appear like an impossible task, and your perception will become your reality.
Yes, it will take work; you and I both know that anything worth achieving is going to take a ton of work, but we also know that it will be worth it in the end.
Everyone is born a diamond in the rough; we just need to be uncovered. The truth is, if anyone else can succeed in this world, so can you. No one is any better than you.
So don’t sell out! No matter how long it takes, I don’t care if it takes the next 45 years; you owe it to your creator and to yourself to live out your intended purpose.
You will never be truly happy until you’re doing what you were created to do. Yes, you may be able to settle and push your feelings of dissatisfaction to the side, but there’s nothing like the exhilaration of doing what you love and watching others benefit from it. Even if you never make a dime from it…the joy of doing what you love is priceless.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much work it will take
Even natural-born hunters like lions must spend years practicing before they’re any good. It’s definitely going to take a lot of work to live your passion. Probably many hours for many years, but when you’re doing what you love, you’ll enjoy it, and you’ll work hard to ensure that it doesn’t take you forever to succeed.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much time it will take
You’ve probably heard the story of the guy who wanted to be a doctor, but was unwilling to go back to school for eight years. When asked by his friend why he wasn’t going to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor he said, “I would love to become a doctor, but I would have to go back to school for eight years, and in eight years I’m going to be 40 years old! His wise friend responded, “Well, how old will you be in eight years if you don’t go back to school?”
The point is the years will go by, the time will pass, you will eventually get into your future; make sure you arrive there having accomplished what you were created to accomplish. So what if it takes you a little longer than normal, so what if you succeed at 60 instead of 16, will it matter at 60? No. The only thing that will matter is if you sold yourself short, if you settled for mediocrity when you were born for greatness.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid you’ll fail!
You will eventually succeed. If you work in an area you’re passionate about and give your best, you will eventually experience success.
In conclusion, do what you were created to do, even if you must do it while you’re working your “9-5” job, with seven kids, a dog, and a hamster. Make the time; nothing is more important. The world needs what you have, and the world is waiting for you to be manifested. Success will be yours when you do!
Life is changing every day, we only realize it after a long time when we look back. Everyday is unique and with new challenges.
Some changes are joyful and some are painful but yet we have to accept it. Change gives growth both mentally and physically.
Change in life is must because one cannot live same life for years. Bringing one change in our attitude can change our whole life.
In life some circumstances happen against our wish. Firstly they are hard to digest but once we cross that path we feel the change in our life and thankful to god for that hard days.
Everyone wants to grow and growth can be possible by changes in circumstances. Circumstances bring change in our perspective. So accept life as it comes, it comes for our growth.

1) Make space for sleep Clear your bedroom of all electronic distractions, including mobile phones, TVs and laptops, to create a more peaceful environment.
2) Take a bath Having a warm soak before bed will help you unwind. It will also raise your body temperature, and the drop in temperature that follows this will encourage your body to think it’s time to go to sleep. Add essential oils to your bath to enhance the effect.
3) Go for a run Exercising during the day can help you to nod off at night. But don’t do a tough workout too close to your bedtime, or you may struggle to drift off.
4) Create a no-work policy Try not to do any work-related tasks in your bedroom as it can affect your ability to switch off from your daily concerns. No emails, no bills, no stress! Make your room a haven for sleep (and sex!) only.
5) Get into a routine Our bodies like routine, so going to bed and waking at similar times each day (including the weekends) will help you to programme your body to sleep better.
6) Take in the aroma Sprinkle a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow to help you drift off into a deep and peaceful sleep. Research has shown that aromatherapy with lavender can help to slow the activity of your nervous system, improve sleep quality and promote relaxation. Plus, it smells gorgeous!
7) Cut the coffee Avoid caffeine and other stimulants in the evenings, as they may prevent you reaching a deep sleep. Have a hot milky drink or a chamomile tea instead.
8) Get up If you can’t get to sleep, or you wake up during the night, don’t lie there worrying about it. Get up and do something quiet and relaxing, such as reading, for around 20 minutes – but don’t flick on the telly, it will only make your brain more alert – then head back to bed.

I tend to hide my emotions sometimes. I show signs of stress and being overwhelmed, but I don't like to show that I am sad or confused or lost. I feel the reason for this is because no one really cares about my feelings, so i just don't bother to express so I just suppress them. sometimes i just talk to my friends but there is really nothing they can actually do about it. They somehow do make me feel better, but I just wish I had someone to hold me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. I feel lonely at times. I see how happy some people are and i want that too!

That’s the way life is, sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Part of it you can’t control, Part of it you choose.
Sometime you’re happy, sometimes you’re mad
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.
Sometimes you are aggressive, sometimes passive
Sometime your mind thinks positive, sometime negative
Sometime your mind thinks positive, sometime negative
Sometimes you feel you love your spouse
sometimes you wish your relationship could be paused
Sometimes you seem over confident, sometimes you feel you have a low self esteem
Sometime you feel you really got it, sometimes you feel you lost your dreams
Sweet or sour, Bad or good, whatever it is
Get along with it, because that’s way life is.
Accept the situation for what you cant control BUT make a right choice when it comes to choose!

You may think you’ve been used to the way things are. But in life the only thing that is constant is change itself.Everything changes from time to time, whether it’s for better or for worst. There’s always someone that comes and goes.And it makes you feel so happy for a moment and cry your heart out the next.
But you know what?
No matter how hard things are for you, no matter how painful it gets, surely, it will all get better in time.
Why should you think of it that way?
…because you deserve to be happy.
And so is everyone else around you.
You deserve to smile, to love and be loved in return.
Just remember that everything will be better in time.
Don’t lose it along the way or else you’ll never gonna reach that place.
That place where you are free and just living your life how it should be.
Learn, adapt and be happy
Don’t think that you deserve to feel that pain.
Don’t think that you deserve to be lonely.
Don’t think that you deserve to cry.
No one does.
Learn and adapt to your current situation.
I know it’s easy to say than do, but believe me you need to hear it.
And you really can move forward soon.
You just have to face each they thinking that something good will happen.
You just have to stand up for what you think is worth it.
You just have to try to smile and make other happy, and you’ll going to live your own as happy as others are.
You don’t have to feel the way you used to feel anymore because…
… it will all get better in time and thing will one day be the same again......

There is no help for you outside of yourself;You are the creator of the universe.
Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.Burst you own cocoon and come out as a beautiful butterfly.Come out and be a free soul.Explore. Experience. Live.Think big, and your deeds will glow.Think small, and you will fall behind.Think that you can, and you will.
It is all in the state of mind.

world population by 1801:
In 1801, when the first complete world census was carried out, the world’s population was 1 billion. China had 295 million people, India 131 million, Russia 33 million, France 27 million, Ottoman Empire 21 million, Germany 14 million, Spain 11 million, Britain 10 million, Ireland and the USA 5 million.your heart is a powerful machine inside youYour heart beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 800 million pints (378 million litres) of blood. A normal heart beats 70 to 80 times a minute. Over 70 to 80 years, it gives a few billion beats. It is the powerful machine inside you
Rainbows do occur at night
It was previously thought that rainbows never appear at night. However, rainbows do appear at night and is known as moon rainbows or lunar rainbows.
To see a moon rainbow, many conditions must coincide:
1. there must be a full moon,
2. the moon must be either rising or setting,
3. and there must be mist in the air because a rainbow is made up of the rays of the sun that are reflected inside raindrops – or, in this case, the rays reflected by the moon.
Moon rainbows are a rarity; there have been only a few in the past 50 years.

Money management is the process of knowing where you are spending your money today and having a well-thought-out plan in place for where you want it to go in the future.
For good money management one must know some of the principles that s/he can use for the plan to work out,
A budget is simply a plan for what you want to do with your money. It sets restrictions on spending, but it does not have to be oppressive. And by sticking to it, you will have the money for the things that are important to you. Though everybody’s budget is different, there is one consistent rule: expenses should never exceed income
4.TRACK SPENDING
Many financial problems, such as not being able to achieve your goals, having credit card debt, and not being able to save, stem from not following the golden rule of money management: spending less than you earn. Are you currently following the golden rule? By tracking your purchases, you can see how much and what you are spending your money on.
For good money management one must know some of the principles that s/he can use for the plan to work out,
- Set goals
- be organised
- make a budget
- Track spending
- Save money
- SET GOALS
Set specific goals
Financial goals should be specific. For example, wanting to save a certain amount for retirement by age 60 is goal, but wanting to be rich is just a wish. Before you start to save, determine exactly what you want, when you want it, and how much it will cost.
Financial goals should be specific. For example, wanting to save a certain amount for retirement by age 60 is goal, but wanting to be rich is just a wish. Before you start to save, determine exactly what you want, when you want it, and how much it will cost.
There are three basic goal types: short-term (achievable in under a year), mid-term (achievable in one to five years), and long-term (achievable in five-plus years). If you have multiple goals, you may choose to work toward them all at once or concentrate on one and then move to the next.
You can use the Financial Goals Chart to list your goals:
2.BE ORGANIZED
Being organized is essential to efficient money management. Once all of your information and paperwork is in order and accessible, you’ll never have to waste time searching for important documents, wonder about account balances.3.MAKE BUDGET
A budget is simply a plan for what you want to do with your money. It sets restrictions on spending, but it does not have to be oppressive. And by sticking to it, you will have the money for the things that are important to you. Though everybody’s budget is different, there is one consistent rule: expenses should never exceed income

Are you currently following the golden rule? By tracking your purchases, you can see how much and what you are spending your money on.
Accuracy and commitment are vital.
5.SAVE MONEY
Setting aside cash on a regular basis is a habit worth getting into. It allows you to achieve your financial goals and provides a safety net during financially-challenging times.

YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD- MAHATMA GANDHI
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.- Mahatma Gandhi
So many of us have heard and been moved by Gandhi's quote. But even as we have quoted, cited, coached it and counseled with it, we don’t often hear the story behind it.
Among the hundreds of people were waiting to visit with Mahatma Gandhi were a mother and her young son. When it was their turn, the woman asked Gandhi to speak with her son about eating sugar.
Gandhi asked her to come back in two weeks and said he would talk to the boy then. She wondered why he didn’t just speak to her son when he was already there, but she complied with his request.
In two weeks they returned, and after waiting for a couple of hours, she was able to approach Gandhi once again.
Hearing her repeated request, Gandhi immediately spoke with the boy, who agreed to begin working to eliminate sweets. After thanking Gandhi for his wise and compassionate words, the mother asked him why he wanted them to return instead of offering his advice the first time.
Gandhi replied, “Upon your visit two weeks ago I too was eating sugar.” He explained that he could not speak of or teach her son to not eat sugar if he himself had not taken that journey.
Whatever changes you would like to effect in our society has to begin with you.
Let your every moment be an example of what you teach and counsel.
Let your every action be a reflection of your beliefs.
Let your every word be reflective of your own thoughts.
The best leaders the world has ever known are the reformers who were accountable and responsible for their own change.
The commitment for change has no days off, does not allow for excuses, does not allow for pardons.
It’s a true commitment—a commitment to lead with heart to add value to the world.
Changing our face can change nothing. But facing our change can change everything.
SELF MOTIVATION- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Belief in yourself is the beginning of self motivation and achieving your dreams. Without a solid belief in your own potential and abilities, you are doomed to failure and mediocrity.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
I believe that quote sums it all up. Many people are simply afraid to think of themselves as anything but average. The truth is – most people are average. The truth is also that most people don’t use their average ability. Most people live below their average ability.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
Potential is simply what you can do, but have not yet done.
Myles Munroe in his inspirational book “Understanding Your Potential” defines potential as:
“…All you can be but have not yet become…all you can do but have not yet done…how far you can reach but have not yet reached…what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
You must understand that every human being is born with unlimited potential. There is a vast pool of untapped ability in each one of us. The only question is – are you willing to seek it out and bring it to fruition?
If you believe, like I do, that there is a God and that he created you, then you won’t find it hard to believe that you were created with vast ability and potential. God, after all, made man “in his own image.” He made YOU in his own image. If God made you in his own image, then you must be very much like God in a lot of ways. Then to say that you are limited in your potential or that you don’t have much ability to excel would be to insult God’s intelligence and ability.
That is where my self-esteem and belief in my ability comes from. I was made by the greatest being in the Universe. That is where most “self-esteem” movements fail. Self-esteem has got to have a basis. It’s got to “hang” onto something. Self-esteem without this solid foundation is potentially dangerous and destructive. However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.

Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.
“The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself. In as much as you believe it, it is what you live by. It is your personal truth.”
Okay I wrote that one (feel free to quote me), but it basically sums up what I believe about the subject of believing in oneself. It doesn’t matter what your parents, teachers, peers, employer or any one else thinks of you. What matters is what you think of yourself. If you believe what others say about you, good or bad, you are lost. Have your own opinion of who you are. That way That way YOU are in control.
Don’t be defined by someone else. Define yourself. Believe in yourself. Hey if you don’t, who is going to?
God believes in you. Why shouldn’t you believe in yourself?
Self Motivation Fact # 4 – YOU CAN CHART YOUR OWN COURSE.
The good news is – there is another way. Chart out your own course. Break out of the mould. Listen to that small inner voice. It knows more about you than you can imagine.
You can be an original, not a copy. If you are dissatisfied with life could it be because deep down you have a feeling that there is more to it than what you are experiencing? Is it possible that that still small voice is trying to tell you to “get up and be the person you should be!”
Here is a great self motivation tip:
“You are all you can be…go on and be it”

They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

FORGIVE AND LET IT GO
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone. And as said in the previous tip, you always choose how to react to something. When you can incorporate such a thought habit more and more into your life then you can react in a way that is more useful to you and others.
You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you and the people in your world a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons you can learn from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in this present moment.
If you don’t forgive then you let the past and another person to control how you feel. By forgiving you release yourself from those bonds. And then you can focus totally on, for instance, the next point.
YOU WERE BORN FOR A PURPOSE
Everything that exists has a purpose. My computer has a purpose, my shoes have a purpose, my watch has a purpose, if I had a dog, he or she would have a purpose, and most importantly, you have a purpose.
You showed up on this planet for a reason. Maybe you showed up to sing, or to dance, or to teach, or to write, or to entertain, or to act, or to talk, or to cook, or to paint, or any other thing, but you showed up for a reason. There’s a purpose that you came here to fulfill. Don’t “sell out!”
In other words, don’t settle for a life of doing a mundane job that you’re not passionate about. You only live once, you must live your life to the fullest; you must die empty.
Don’t buy into the thinking that it’s too hard to become a singer or whatever else you’re passionate about. It’s exactly that thinking that will make it appear like an impossible task, and your perception will become your reality.
Yes, it will take work; you and I both know that anything worth achieving is going to take a ton of work, but we also know that it will be worth it in the end.
Everyone is born a diamond in the rough; we just need to be uncovered. The truth is, if anyone else can succeed in this world, so can you. No one is any better than you.
So don’t sell out! No matter how long it takes, I don’t care if it takes the next 45 years; you owe it to your creator and to yourself to live out your intended purpose.
You will never be truly happy until you’re doing what you were created to do. Yes, you may be able to settle and push your feelings of dissatisfaction to the side, but there’s nothing like the exhilaration of doing what you love and watching others benefit from it. Even if you never make a dime from it…the joy of doing what you love is priceless.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much work it will take
Even natural-born hunters like lions must spend years practicing before they’re any good. It’s definitely going to take a lot of work to live your passion. Probably many hours for many years, but when you’re doing what you love, you’ll enjoy it, and you’ll work hard to ensure that it doesn’t take you forever to succeed.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much time it will take
You’ve probably heard the story of the guy who wanted to be a doctor, but was unwilling to go back to school for eight years. When asked by his friend why he wasn’t going to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor he said, “I would love to become a doctor, but I would have to go back to school for eight years, and in eight years I’m going to be 40 years old! His wise friend responded, “Well, how old will you be in eight years if you don’t go back to school?”
The point is the years will go by, the time will pass, you will eventually get into your future; make sure you arrive there having accomplished what you were created to accomplish. So what if it takes you a little longer than normal, so what if you succeed at 60 instead of 16, will it matter at 60? No. The only thing that will matter is if you sold yourself short, if you settled for mediocrity when you were born for greatness.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid you’ll fail!
You will eventually succeed. If you work in an area you’re passionate about and give your best, you will eventually experience success.
In conclusion, do what you were created to do, even if you must do it while you’re working your “9-5” job, with seven kids, a dog, and a hamster. Make the time; nothing is more important. The world needs what you have, and the world is waiting for you to be manifested. Success will be yours when you do!
LIFE IS CHANGING EVERYDAY
Life is changing every day, we only realize it after a long time when we look back. Everyday is unique and with new challenges.
Some changes are joyful and some are painful but yet we have to accept it. Change gives growth both mentally and physically.
Change in life is must because one cannot live same life for years. Bringing one change in our attitude can change our whole life.
In life some circumstances happen against our wish. Firstly they are hard to digest but once we cross that path we feel the change in our life and thankful to god for that hard days.
Everyone wants to grow and growth can be possible by changes in circumstances. Circumstances bring change in our perspective. So accept life as it comes, it comes for our growth.
SLEEPING TIPS
1) Make space for sleep Clear your bedroom of all electronic distractions, including mobile phones, TVs and laptops, to create a more peaceful environment.
2) Take a bath Having a warm soak before bed will help you unwind. It will also raise your body temperature, and the drop in temperature that follows this will encourage your body to think it’s time to go to sleep. Add essential oils to your bath to enhance the effect.
3) Go for a run Exercising during the day can help you to nod off at night. But don’t do a tough workout too close to your bedtime, or you may struggle to drift off.
4) Create a no-work policy Try not to do any work-related tasks in your bedroom as it can affect your ability to switch off from your daily concerns. No emails, no bills, no stress! Make your room a haven for sleep (and sex!) only.
5) Get into a routine Our bodies like routine, so going to bed and waking at similar times each day (including the weekends) will help you to programme your body to sleep better.
6) Take in the aroma Sprinkle a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow to help you drift off into a deep and peaceful sleep. Research has shown that aromatherapy with lavender can help to slow the activity of your nervous system, improve sleep quality and promote relaxation. Plus, it smells gorgeous!
7) Cut the coffee Avoid caffeine and other stimulants in the evenings, as they may prevent you reaching a deep sleep. Have a hot milky drink or a chamomile tea instead.
8) Get up If you can’t get to sleep, or you wake up during the night, don’t lie there worrying about it. Get up and do something quiet and relaxing, such as reading, for around 20 minutes – but don’t flick on the telly, it will only make your brain more alert – then head back to bed.

AM A PERSON WITH PURPOSE
sometimes we need someone to hold us
I tend to hide my emotions sometimes. I show signs of stress and being overwhelmed, but I don't like to show that I am sad or confused or lost. I feel the reason for this is because no one really cares about my feelings, so i just don't bother to express so I just suppress them. sometimes i just talk to my friends but there is really nothing they can actually do about it. They somehow do make me feel better, but I just wish I had someone to hold me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. I feel lonely at times. I see how happy some people are and i want that too!
get along with it, that's the way life is!
That’s the way life is, sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Part of it you can’t control, Part of it you choose.
Sometime you’re happy, sometimes you’re mad

Sometimes you are aggressive, sometimes passive
Sometime your mind thinks positive, sometime negative
Sometime your mind thinks positive, sometime negative

It is all in the state of mind.

world population by 1801:
In 1801, when the first complete world census was carried out, the world’s population was 1 billion. China had 295 million people, India 131 million, Russia 33 million, France 27 million, Ottoman Empire 21 million, Germany 14 million, Spain 11 million, Britain 10 million, Ireland and the USA 5 million.your heart is a powerful machine inside youYour heart beats 101,000 times a day.

Rainbows do occur at night
It was previously thought that rainbows never appear at night. However, rainbows do appear at night and is known as moon rainbows or lunar rainbows.
To see a moon rainbow, many conditions must coincide:
1. there must be a full moon,
2. the moon must be either rising or setting,
3. and there must be mist in the air because a rainbow is made up of the rays of the sun that are reflected inside raindrops – or, in this case, the rays reflected by the moon.
Moon rainbows are a rarity; there have been only a few in the past 50 years.
KNOW HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY
Money management is the process of knowing where you are spending your money today and having a well-thought-out plan in place for where you want it to go in the future.
For good money management one must know some of the principles that s/he can use for the plan to work out,
A budget is simply a plan for what you want to do with your money. It sets restrictions on spending, but it does not have to be oppressive. And by sticking to it, you will have the money for the things that are important to you. Though everybody’s budget is different, there is one consistent rule: expenses should never exceed income
4.TRACK SPENDING
Many financial problems, such as not being able to achieve your goals, having credit card debt, and not being able to save, stem from not following the golden rule of money management: spending less than you earn. Are you currently following the golden rule? By tracking your purchases, you can see how much and what you are spending your money on.
For good money management one must know some of the principles that s/he can use for the plan to work out,
- Set goals
- be organised
- make a budget
- Track spending
- Save money
- SET GOALS
Set specific goals
Financial goals should be specific. For example, wanting to save a certain amount for retirement by age 60 is goal, but wanting to be rich is just a wish. Before you start to save, determine exactly what you want, when you want it, and how much it will cost.
Financial goals should be specific. For example, wanting to save a certain amount for retirement by age 60 is goal, but wanting to be rich is just a wish. Before you start to save, determine exactly what you want, when you want it, and how much it will cost.
There are three basic goal types: short-term (achievable in under a year), mid-term (achievable in one to five years), and long-term (achievable in five-plus years). If you have multiple goals, you may choose to work toward them all at once or concentrate on one and then move to the next.
You can use the Financial Goals Chart to list your goals:
